Definitions

  • the instant disclosure or invention is directed to new or improved battery separators, components, materials, lead acid batteries, systems, and/or related methods of production and/or use.
  • the instant disclosure or invention is directed to surfactants or other additives for use with a battery separator for use in a lead acid battery, to battery separators with a surfactant or other additive, and/or to batteries including such separators, and/or to products, devices or vehicles including such batteries.
  • the instant disclosure relates to new or improved lead acid battery separators and/or batteries and/or systems and/or vehicles including improved water loss technology and/or methods of manufacture and/or use thereof.
  • the instant disclosure is directed toward a new or improved lead acid battery separator or system with one or more surfactants and/or additives, and/or methods for constructing lead acid battery separators and batteries with such surfactants and/or additives for improving and/or reducing water loss from the battery.
  • Lead acid batteries have evolved, over time, as the demands for a source of mobile electric power have grown.
  • lead acid batteries There are two main types of lead acid batteries: flooded lead acid batteries and VRLA (valve regulated lead acid) batteries.
  • the instant disclosure may be particularly useful for flooded batteries, which are commonly used all over the world.
  • a newer type of flooded lead acid battery is an EFB battery, or an enhanced flooded battery.
  • EFB enhanced flooded battery
  • Water loss in lead acid batteries is a known problem (loss of water from the electrolyte due to electrolysis producing hydrogen and oxygen gas that vents from the battery) and may occur for many different reasons. For example, water loss may occur in lead acid batteries as the overvoltage of hydrogen is exceeded at the electrodes. This may be typical and may occur to some extent as the electrochemical mechanism dictates. The effects of water loss may be greatly amplified in climates with sustained high temperature.
  • Water loss has been identified as a major contributor to the following critical failure modes in lead acid batteries: plate dehydration, which may lead to battery failure; dryout in a sealed VRLA battery, which may lead to potential thermal runaway; negative plate sulfation, which may lead to reduced charge acceptance and/or reduced cycle life; and/or increased specific gravity of electrolyte, which may lead to negative plate sulfation and/or positive grid corrosion.
  • Water loss in a lead acid battery can be seen through: reduced level of electrolyte leading to dryout, exposing welds, plates and connections to corrosion and causing early failure; increasing electrolyte acid concentration, reduced capacity, negative plate sulfation, positive grid corrosion leading to early failure; and/or outgassing of H 2 and O 2 gasses, possibly creating an exposure and handling hazard and requiring venting.
  • reducing water loss in lead acid batteries may help eliminate: plate dehydration leading to early capacity loss and shortened life; negative plate sulfation, reducing life; and/or positive grid corrosion, reducing performance by robbing CCA (cold cranking amperage) and capacity and life.
  • Water loss from lead acid batteries may be mainly due to electrolysis and subsequent gassing of hydrogen and oxygen, which may be more apparent in high temperature climates or applications.
  • EFBs may suffer from any of these water loss scenarios, including evaporation and electrolysis of water.
  • Water loss whether through evaporation and/or electrolysis, is commonly known to lower the performance and/or life of the EFB.
  • many methods have been developed to combat this drawback, including VRLA/AGM type batteries.
  • VRLA/AGM type batteries Even in a sealed VRLA/AGM battery, for example, the potential for dryout is present, and a potential thermal runaway could occur because of water loss.
  • various known and/or already-developed methods of combatting water loss in lead acid batteries may not provide all of the desired improvement in reduction in water loss and may require high costs that may not match the value brought forth by various developed methods.
  • the battery separator of a flooded lead acid battery is a component that divides or "separates" the positive electrode from the negative electrode within a lead acid battery cell.
  • a battery separator may have two primary functions. First, a battery separator should keep the positive electrode physically apart from the negative electrode in order to prevent any electronic current passing between the two electrodes. Second, a battery separator should permit an ionic current between the positive and negative electrodes with the least possible resistance.
  • a battery separator can be made out of many different materials, but these two opposing functions have been met well by a battery separator being made of a porous nonconductor (such as porous or microporous polyolefin).
  • separators that contain one or more additives as disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2012/0094183 , which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • the separators with the additives (additives such as alkoxylated alcohol additives) described by that patent publication help to reduce water loss in a flooded lead acid battery. And further reduction in water loss in a flooded lead acid battery is even more desirable.
  • the present disclosure seeks to further improve the water loss reduction for a flooded lead acid battery and in at least certain embodiments reduces water loss while maintaining other separator and/or battery properties.
  • the instant disclosure is designed to address at least certain aspects of the problems or needs discussed above by providing new and/or improved additives for use with battery separators for use in flooded lead acid batteries, such that the resulting lead acid batteries or systems exhibit improved water loss, or reduced water loss, compared with known lead acid batteries or systems.
